The Mavericks would not sit back and wait to die.
They had Josh Smith shadow Su Yan relentlessly, with Dirk providing help defense and Haywood guarding the restricted area as well.
Kidd alone was enough to guard Curry and keep him from getting easy Three-point shots.
Curry had just hit several Three-point shots in a row, including a Logo three. Terry's provocation had made his touch exceptionally hot.
He would not stop attacking.
Taking advantage of Curry's hot streak, Su Yan fed him the ball as much as possible and let him take more shots.
Curry did not hesitate. At the left top of the key, he pounded the dribble, stepped back, and launched another three over Kidd's face-to-face defense!
That was an incredibly difficult shot.
Clang!
It hit iron.
The rebound?!
George dove toward the basket to fight for it but failed to secure it. However... Chandler swatted the ball away after Haywood got his hands on it first.
"Loose ball!"
George's eyes narrowed. In the second scramble, he secured the rebound. He wanted to go back up for a putback, but Nowitzki rotated over to defend.
The opportunity was not great.
George decisively passed the ball back out to Curry at the left top of the key.
Su Yan was also cutting toward the basket from the right side.
That gave the Mavericks the illusion that Su Yan was about to attack, causing them to overlook Curry.
He drew the bow and loosed the arrow.
Without hesitation, Curry fired another three.
Never give an elite shooter comfortable chances to shoot in succession. He would make you pay a terrible price.
Swish!
The pleasant sound of the net being pierced signaled that Curry had made another three.
"Damn it!"
Terry cursed loudly.
He was starting to regret it. If
